Will the Mahindra BE.05’s fast charging actually make a difference in the real world?
The Mahindra BE.05 can also charge quickly with impressive fast charging claims of 20 to 80% in just 20 minutes using a DC fast charger. On paper, this sounds great, but how much of a game changer is it? It’s only useful if you can get your hands on compatible chargers, which aren’t widely available in India yet. But there is also the question of how often the average driver would actually need to use fast charging in his or her day-to-day life. But is this feature more of a marketing gimmick than a practical benefit for most EV owners who charge at home overnight? In other words, if you don’t have access to an outlet at home but need to charge, it could be a huge advantage. I think it is worth talking about whether this feature is worth a price premium and will actually make a difference with how people buy.
It's a game-changer for sure! It’s a huge peace of mind booster even if you don’t use it daily, knowing you can charge up quickly on long trips. That will help a lot of people get past their range anxiety.
It sounds great, but where are all these fast chargers? It’s just a fancy feature on paper until we have a proper charging infrastructure. The vast majority will have to suffer slow home charging.
I do think it will make a big difference for people who live in apartments and don’t have home charging. If they could quickly top up at a nearby charger, EV ownership could become much more feasible for them.
Nice, but how do the batteries degrade? Fast charging the battery frequently can wear out the battery faster. I would much rather have a larger battery and more range than super quick charging.
Most of the time, it won't matter for most daily use. For those few times a year when you have to make a long trip however, it’s perfect. It's like a spare tire you don't use very often, but you're glad to have it when you need it.
